Chapter 223: Heavenly Dragon Spear, Slaying a Void Immortal Level Fierce Beast
The Jade Starship was incredibly fast; within a few breaths, Lu Yi approached the territory where the mighty Void Immortal aura was emanating from.
Lu Yi had been to this territory before, it was the territory of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land.
As an Immortal Sect Holy Land, the branches of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range that it possessed were naturally more extensive than those of an ordinary sect.
It was normal for more powerful Fierce Beasts to be attracted as well.
Lu Yi put away the Jade Starship and headed for the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range area.
Soon, Lu Yi saw a large number of cultivators scattered across the sky and the earth, standing in front of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, battling the endless tide of beasts.
Some of these cultivators were disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land, and some were cultivators from forces under the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land.
As disciples of an Immortal Sect Holy Land, the disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land were extremely strong. With the flow of Spiritual Energy, dragon patterns condensed, and the illusion of a True Dragon and the roar of a True Dragon echoed through heaven and earth, slightly stronger than the disciples of the Emperor Sword Sect Lu Yi had seen before.
And this section of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range was equally more extensive, with a greater number of Fierce Beasts and much stronger ones as well.
The battle between the two sides was in full swing, the entire mountain range was shaking, and many peaks were reduced to dust under the aftershocks.
Even the landscape was changing.
This was merely the battle between weaker cultivators and Fierce Beasts; the cultivators on the surface all had strength no greater than that of the Cave Void Realm.
Stronger cultivators were fighting high above in the sky.
Lu Yi sensed a familiar aura and looked up to see a young and robust figure in the high sky.
This figure was covered with dragon scales all over the body, like a humanoid giant dragon, with soaring blood and Qi like a pillar of light, unmatched in strength.
It was the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son.
The Heavenly Dragon Saint Son was now in the Unification Realm, naturally not weak, and was, to his own surprise, fighting a Fierce Beast of the Great Mahayana Realm. Although he could not suppress it, to fight a Great Mahayana cultivator with the strength of the Unification Realm was already very extraordinary.
Higher up, there were even more powerful auras belonging to Fierce Beasts.
Lu Yi sensed the presence of nine Tribulation Crossing Fierce Beasts, and deep in the starry sky, he also felt two incredibly terrifying auras.
These were Void Immortals.
Although Void Immortals were not considered Immortals, they could still be called Demi Immortals, powerful enough to engage in battle deep in the starry sky.
One of the auras was strange and cold, clearly imbued with Jiuyou Qi, while the other, with soaring blood and Qi like a scorching sun, must belong to a cultivator of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land.
Lu Yi was somewhat surprised in his heart; he didn't expect that the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land had a Void Immortal as well.
It was indeed worthy of being an Immortal Sect Holy Land, with exceptional heritage.
Lu Yi sighed in his heart, then stepped into space and disappeared from where he was.
The next moment, Lu Yi appeared in the starry sky.
He had completely left Tianming, and there wasn't a trace of air around, a total vacuum.
Ordinary Great Mahayana cultivators would not be able to survive in such a place, and even Tribulation Crossing Practitioners did not dare to stay long in such an environment.
But Lu Yi's physical body was even stronger than that of Tribulation Crossing Practitioners, so of course, he did not need to worry.
Soon after, Lu Yi saw a short and thin elder wielding a dark golden spear, locked in battle with a Fierce Beast that stood a hundred meters tall and was covered with dark blue scales, resembling a giant wolf.
This Fierce Beast was also a Void Immortal, extremely powerful, and its strength was even more alarming with the enhancement of Jiuyou Qi.
However, Lu Yi noticed that the dark golden spear held by the short elder was a Low Grade Immortal Device.
This Low Grade Immortal Device was obviously very suitable for Body Refining Cultivators to use, and it also contained the power of a True Dragon.
As the short elder swung the spear, terrifying dragon shadows burst forth from the Immortal Device, carrying rising blood and Qi, attacking the wolf-like Fierce Beast.
Because of this, although the Jiuyou Beast was very powerful, it was currently being suppressed by the elder.
Lu Yi marvelled inwardly, it was indeed an Immortal Sect Holy Land capable of suppressing such a Jiuyou Void Immortal-level Fierce Beast.
In his heart, Lu Yi murmured to himself, "I must kill all the Jiuyou Beasts in this place."
[Task]
Eliminate the Jiuyou Beasts.
Reward: Low Grade Immortal Device Xuanbing Blue Jade Skirt, increased comprehension of the Ice Law, +1 level to a designated Immortal Skill, Immortal Tree Ice Heart Iron Tree Seed *1
Accept the task? Yes/No
Lu Yi's eyes lit up; the rewards were indeed extremely high.
He accepted the task and then quickly called out, "Elder! Let me lend you a hand!!"
As he spoke, he charged forward.
The short and lean elder was startled, and after repelling the Jiuyou Beast with a strike, he turned his head to see Lu Yi rushing towards him. A hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes, "You are... Lu Yi?! I actually did not notice your presence coming here."
Lu Yi gave a sheepish smile, "I have mastered some of the Taoist Skill of space and traveled here through it."
Hearing this, the corners of the elder's mouth twitched slightly, "The Taoist Skill of space..."
He looked at Lu Yi as if seeing a monster, "I heard some of the youngsters in the sect talk about you before, and it seems you're stronger than I imagined."
Lu Yi smiled and then said earnestly, "Senior, the situation in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range is not very good. How about I lend you a hand and we take down this fierce beast together?"
Hearing this, the elder laughed and nodded, "Hahaha! Good, I won't stand on ceremony with you. The Heavenly Dragon Holy Land has suffered significant losses this time. If we can end this sooner, we can reduce the losses by a great deal. I owe you a favor!"
Lu Yi chuckled and replied, "Senior, you're too polite. The Heavenly Dragon Saint Son and I have a good relationship, and now with the severe beast tide in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range wreaking havoc, I should do what I must."
Hearing this, the elder nodded repeatedly.
After that, Lu Yi took out the Shaking Light Sword, eyeing the wolf-shaped fierce beast in the distance.
"Let's attack together!" the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land's Void Immortal bellowed, holding the Heavenly Dragon Spear that roared with an incomparably rich brilliance. The next moment, a True Dragon Illusion charged out, heading straight for the Void Immortal Level fierce beast.
Lu Yi's expression tightened too, his Spiritual Energy flowing as he unreservedly operated the Sword Tao Law. The Star-cutting Immortal Skill was also activated.
A Star Sword-like the inverted star river, like a screen of stars falling, slashed towards the Void Immortal beast, its power even surpassing that of the True Dragon Illusion.
It must be known that the True Dragon Illusion is an attack made by an Immortal Device!
With such power, even the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land's Void Immortal was shocked, turning to look at Lu Yi in disbelief, "Such an impressive Sword Tao Law! You've also mastered an Immortal Skill?"
Lu Yi nodded with a smile, "I learned it by a fortuitous coincidence."
Heavenly Dragon Holy Land's Void Immortal: "..."
The fierce beast at the Void Immortal Realm was already being suppressed by the elder, and now with an even stronger Lu Yi appearing, it roared angrily, with the patterns of Jiuyou erupting around it, like black flames burning around its body.
Both Lu Yi and the elder frowned slightly, as they both heard a succession of whispering sounds by their ears.
Lu Yi snorted coldly, the Sword Tao Law swirling, shattering the whispers, and the elder's Heavenly Dragon Spear trembled, also recovering his complexion.
A True Dragon Illusion and a Star Sword Screen were now closing in on the fierce beast.
The beast roared repeatedly, deep blue ice composing to form a dense Ice Crystal Shield, attempting to block the attacks.
The dragon shape and sword screen landed on the Ice Crystal Shield, and in the next instant, a dazzling brilliance burst forth like stars, the soundless aftermath ravaging the surrounding vacuum.
With the formidable power of the dragon shape and sword screen, like a hot knife through butter, they quickly shattered the Ice Crystal Shields and hit the fierce beast.
The beast howled painfully, unable to resist and was sent flying backward, its scales shattered, revealing deep wounds, with blood flowing profusely.
However, even after sustaining two attacks, the beast still had a robust aura. Given that Lu Yi's single sword strike could even destroy stars, it was hard to imagine just how strong a Void Immortal Realm beast must be.
Lu Yi and the elder from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land exchanged a glance, not giving it any chance to recover as they launched another attack on the beast.
Successive dragon shapes and Star Sword Screens were unleashed, covering the vacuum, and within a range of tens of thousands of kilometers, there was nothing but starlight and the shadows of true dragons.
The fierce beast kept roaring, blocking some attacks while evading others, but ultimately it couldn't dodge them all. One after another, bloody wounds appeared on its body, its vital energy rapidly weakening.
The fierce beast wanted to flee, but facing two powerful Void Immortals, it naturally couldn't escape and was thoroughly suppressed.
Cultivators below had naturally noticed the changes happening in the vacuum above as well.
The Long Ming Ancestor and several Tribulation Crossing Ancestors of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land were currently battling with Tribulation Crossing Realm fierce beasts. Feeling the roars of the fierce beasts above, they all changed expressions and looked up toward the vacuum.
"Another aura has appeared. Who is it? Looks like it's a cultivator from the Human Clan?"
"This aura... it seems like it's the young friend Lu Yi?" Long Ming Ancestor said.
Since Lu Yi had visited the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land several times, many of the Tribulation Crossing Ancestors had met Lu Yi and were familiar with his aura. Their expressions were equally peculiar and they exchanged glances.
"This aura... it really is him?!"
Then, the group of Tribulation Crossing Ancestors breathed a sigh of relief and showed joy.
"Young friend Lu Yi's strength is extremely formidable, plus with the help of Long Yin Ancestor, they should be able to kill that Void Immortal beast! With that, we can quickly suppress the Fierce Beast Tide!"
As they conversed, a roar that shook the heavens resounded, followed by terrifying aftershocks sweeping downward, causing all the Tribulation Crossing Ancestors' faces to change drastically.
Then, they felt that the sinister and terrifying aura above was slowly dissipating.
All the Tribulation Crossing Ancestors were stunned, then showed expressions of surprise.
"It's dead! The Void Immortal fierce beast is dead!"
All the ancestors had not expected that, in the brief moments following Lu Yi's arrival, the Void Immortal fierce beast would be slain. The display of power left them all shaken.
Thereafter, they felt two presences swiftly approaching, which were none other than Lu Yi and Long Yin Ancestor.
Seeing the two of them, the group of Tribulation Crossing Ancestors finally relaxed completely.
Meanwhile, the Tribulation Crossing Realm fierce beasts roared, attempting to flee.
"Trying to run?! Over my dead body!" Long Yin Ancestor roared, lifting his Heavenly Dragon Spear and charging forward.
Seeing this, Lu Yi naturally followed suit.
While logically, Lu Yi's task would be considered complete if the others killed the Jiuyou Beasts, he felt it was somewhat lacking if he didn't take action himself.
With Lu Yi and Long Yin Ancestor attacking, the Tribulation Crossing beasts were killed off one after another, quickly leading to their annihilation.
Long Ming Ancestor approached Lu Yi with a look of admiration, saluting, "Young friend Lu Yi, you've been a tremendous help this time."
All the Tribulation Crossing Ancestors of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land also solemnly saluted, filled with gratitude.
"Thank you, young friend Lu Yi, for your assistance. Otherwise, our Heavenly Dragon Holy Land might have suffered great losses!"
